Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Chapter 224: Disdain for the Royal Family

Wang Jue was much more eloquent than Xie Yun. After a bunch of sarcastic remarks, Cui Jie and Jin Zhao left Xie's house with gloomy faces and full of anger.

Luo Qin didn't come out from behind until the two men left.

"Yeah," Wang Xu smiled with narrowed eyes after seeing Luo Qin, "Miss Luo is here too."

Luo Qin bowed to him and asked, "Wang Wulang, you also know what happened today. Do you know who took Miss Cui away?"

Wang Xu waved his fan and said, "Even you, Tan Lang, don't know, how should I know?"

Luo Qin blushed when Wang Jue said the words "ni Tan Lang".

Xie Yun on the side said: "We are doing this properly, Aqin doesn't need to worry about them."

Luo Qin nodded. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be really unaware and acted as if it had nothing to do with them, it seemed that this was not their work.

But then again, who could have kidnapped Cui Qianqian?

Luo Qin guessed everyone in Jiankang, and finally felt that Yu and the prince were more likely.

I guess the prince doesn't want to see Jin Zhao marry Qinghe Cui.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with them anyway.

Some days passed, and as the wedding date was approaching, Cui Xianxian still hadn't been found. But it seemed that even if she was found, Jin Zhao probably wouldn't marry her.

Who knows what happened to a girl who disappeared for some time?

Until the wedding day, Cui Xianxian was still not found. The emperor was furious and issued an order to cancel the engagement between Cui and Jin Zhao. The marriage between Jin Zhao and Cui was thus ruined.

At this time, Luo Qin and Xie Yun were in the study room, and after hearing this expected news, Luo Qin asked the man who was writing beside the desk: "Bo An, the emperor wants Jin Zhao to marry into a noble family, why not choose Wang or Xie?"

It is obvious that these two families are the ones with the most profound heritage.

The Wang family has Wang Jiuniang and Wang Aijing, and the Xie family has Xie Siniang and Xie Yang, all of whom are of marriageable age.

Xie Yun didn't even raise his head and continued what he was doing, "Our two families don't want to marry into the royal family."

To be precise, they didn't even fancy the royal family.

Whether the girl marries a royal family or not, the status of both families will not change. If she really marries a royal family and gives birth to a prince, it will arouse suspicion, so it is better not to marry.

Besides, what's so good about marrying into the royal family? Wouldn't it be more pleasant to marry a noble family?

Xie Jun didn't say all the rebellious words in his heart, but based on Luo Qin's understanding of him, he could already hear it from his tone.

I couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He is so arrogant that even the royal family looks down on him!

This is indeed the case. During this period, most of the people in power were from powerful families. It is better to marry a woman from a powerful family than a prince. Compared with the rules and regulations in the palace, women from powerful families are more relaxed and comfortable.

Wow, this is the confidence of a great family!

Luo Qin supported his chin and looked at Xie Yun with stars in his eyes.

When Xie Yun looked up, he saw the girl's bright eyes smiling, looking at him with admiration. He couldn't help but smile, put the wolf-hair brush in his hand on the jade three-peak brush mount, raised his hand and pinched her jade-white cheek, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you, Boan!"

When no one is around, Luo Qin will openly admit that she likes Xie Yun.

Such frankness made Xie Yun's ears blush.

Luo Qin laughed when he saw it, walked around the mahogany table and threw himself into the man's arms.

Xie Yun raised his hand to hold her slender waist, and stroked her hair with his other hand. He heard the person in his arms say coquettishly, "Boan, I like you so much."

Xie Yun's heart softened when he heard this. He kissed her forehead and said softly, "Me too."

The two of them stayed together for a while, and Luo Qin raised his head again and asked: "Since the marriage between Jin Zhao and Cui has failed, who will the emperor let him marry next?"

Speaking of this, Xie Yun also fell silent. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Huan family of Qiao State or the Xiao family of Lanling..."

These two families are not much different from the Cui family of Qinghe.

Oh no, the marriageable daughter of Huan family in Qiao state is Huan Lingzhi, right?

That was Sanlang’s wife in his previous life!

If the emperor really ordered the second prince to marry into the Huan family of Qiao State, it would most likely be Huan Lingzhi!

No, I have to talk to my second aunt and arrange Sanlang's marriage as soon as possible.

However, it was too late. After the emperor issued an edict to cancel the engagement between Jin Zhao and Cui Xianxian, he issued an edict the next day to marry Huan Lingzhi, the daughter of Huan family of Qiao State, to Jin Zhao!

After learning the news, Luo Qin and Xie Yun immediately rushed to the second house, Muxueyuan.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xie Qi sitting quietly on the stone steps in front of the courtyard, staring at a tree in the yard in a trance.

It was the end of June, and the Albizia Julibrissin trees were in full bloom with pink flowers. The velvety soft petals swayed gently, and the pink flowers and tender green leaves set off each other, forming a beautiful picture.

But it was obvious that Xie Qi was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. At this moment, he had completely lost his usual cheerfulness. His expression was dull and a depressed aura emanated from his whole body.

Luo Qin and Xie Yun looked at each other.

How could he not understand? It seemed that it was not just the goddess who had feelings for him, but the King of Xiang who had no intention. Xie Qi also cared about the girl from the Huan family.

"Saburo."

Xie Yun approached and called him.

Xie Qi's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly came to her senses. She turned around and saw that her elder brother and cousin Luo had been there for an unknown amount of time.

Xie Qi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and quickly stood up, "Ah! Brother! Cousin Luo! Why are you here?"

Then, he hurriedly called the two of them, "Come in and sit down!"

Xie Qi signaled Wu Lang and other servants to prepare seats and tea as soon as possible.

Xie Yun and Luo Qin followed Xie Qi into the house, and the servants quickly set up the couches and low tables.

Xie Yun and Luo Qin took off their clogs and knelt opposite Xie Qi.

Xie Qi had an unnatural smile on his face and asked, "Why are you here, brother?"

Xie Yun glanced at the young man opposite him calmly, "Sanlang."

"Eh?" Xie Qi looked up at his elder brother.

Xie Yun paused, looked at him intently, and asked, "Sanlang, tell me honestly, brother, do you like that girl from the Huan family?"

"Which one?"

Even now, Xie Qi is still pretending to be ignorant.

Xie Jun was annoyed, "Huan Lingzhi."

Luo Qin and Xie Jun were sitting next to each other and saw clearly that after Xie Jun said Huan Lingzhi's name, Xie Qi's neck turned red, followed by her ears and finally her cheeks. She looked like a boiled shrimp.

Tsk, he gets shy so easily, quite like his elder brother.

Xie Qi blushed and stumbled, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."

"Come on," Luo Qin said speechlessly, "On the day of the flower viewing banquet, I saw you looking at the Huan family girl several times."

"No." Xie Qi felt guilty for no reason when facing Luo Qin, and defended herself, "It wasn't the first time someone gave me that expression. I was curious about her, so I just looked at her a few more times."

"Then why are you blushing now, third cousin?" Luo Qin pointed out.

This time, Xie Qi lowered her head in embarrassment, "I am just like this."

Luo Qin: "..."

Xie Yun: "..."
